A glass of Pastis?

Pastis is French liquor with an anis flavor. This is the main French apéritif, although it is even more popular in the South (especially the South-East -Provence-).

The Pastis liquor is served in a tall glass and diluted with cold water (generally five volumes of water for one volume of pastis). The color then changes to a fuzzy yellow, typical of the drink. In order to get that specific effect, the ice cubes need to be added after the water. But a Marseillais will not tolerate adding ice in his pastis!

The word "pastis" comes from the Occitan -old South language- and means "mix". This is due to the necessary mix that makes its characteristics. The word became used as a symbol of mix and mess (or confusion) in the popular phrase "quel pastis !" ("what a mess!").

Pastis is the soft and derived version of a now prohibited alcohol: absinthe.
This parent liquor, detrimental to human health, was banned in 1915.

The famous brands of Pastis are Pernod and Ricard. Although they were two separate companies at first, they are under the same ownership since 1975. Paul Ricard "invented" Marseilles Pastis in 1932.

Le Nougat: A French delicacy

Nougat is a French delicacy, coming mainly from Montelimar. White, soft or hard, it can take various forms, but its taste is always a perfect balance of the ingredients. Nougat is generally made from sugar, honey, almonds and pistachios, vanilla and white eggs. Montelimar Nougat is a controlled appellation and should contain at least 30% of almonds (or 28% almonds and 2% pistachios) and 25% of Lavender honey.


The name comes from the latin “nux gatum” (“gateaux de noix”, “nuts cake”). The delicacy is historically from South of France, and especially from the Provence area. Montelimar replaced the original nuts by the almonds and gave the nougat its unmistakable characteristics.
The nougat is often expensive on markets because it takes a long time to make the delicacy.

Book recommendation: TROPICAL STYLE

Tropical Style by by Gillian Beal, Jacob Termansen, Pia Marie Molbech (Photographer) is a beautiful book that is a pleasure to read and to have close to hand on a living room table. With plenty of pictures –some on exquisite details- the glossy pages invite the reader into Malaysia architecture and decoration. The vibrant use of colors and lights, and the warmth of the exotic wood play with the modern inspiration and the garden luxuriance. The purity of the lines as well as the mix of West/East inspiration brings an original elegance to the Malaysian houses. Simple and delicate at the same time, the Malaysian style is worth the attention it gets on this book. To buy for yourself or to offer.

Bonne Annee 2007!

Itiza wishes you and your family a wonderful year 2007, full of health, happiness, success, style and comfort!
